Python multiline comments

Question

I am struggling with multi line comments in Python, I understood I can use # at the start of every line of multi line comments but there is also another way of using """ at the start and end of the comment; however, in my interpreter the """ method gives an output instead of ignoring the comment.

>>> """this should
be a multi
line comment"""

And my interpreter gives the following output:

'this should\nbe a multi\nline comment'

Can someone explain it?

Answer 1

This is very easy to accomplish in python.

# This is a single-line comment

'''
This is a multi-line comment
'''

Just put the comments in ''' and put whatever you want inside of them!
